The short version
Forest River, Inc. reported a problem with the engine. Here is what owners need to know.
Water and contaminants may get into the block heater cable's splice connector causing corrosion and damage.
When the heater is plugged in, prolonged corrosion could cause a resistive short, increasing the risk of overheated or melted wiring which can increase the risk of a fire.
Forest River will notify owners, and Ford dealers will disable the vehicle's engine block heater cable, free of charge.
